STOVE-PIPE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 285,748, datedSeptember 25, 1883. Application filed March 9, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK S. GULIGK, ofBolivar, in the county of Allegany and State of New York, have inventeda new and Improved Stove-Pipe Holder, of which the following is a full,clear, and exact description.

My invention consists of an extensible hang- -er and an extensible hoop,contrived in a simple arrangement, for suspending stove-pipes from theceiling in a better way than by the wire suspenders commonly employed,as hereinafter fully described.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a perspective view of a section of stove-pipe suspended fromthe ceiling by claim as new,

my improved device. Fig. 2 is a'longitudinal sectional elevation of Fig.1, and. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of Fig. 1.

I make a hanger of two flat bars, a and b, one of which has a head orcollar, 0, to be screwed up against the ceiling e by a screw, d, fixedin the head, the head having a washer, f, of rubber, leather, or otherelastic substance, to be compressed against the ceiling for an elasticbearing that will afford a good bearing against the irregular surface ofthe ceiling. The other bar has a bracket, 9, at the lower end, to beattached to a hoop or band, h, by a screw, 2', and a clamp-nut, j,having thumb-bits for turning it readily by hand, and each of said barshas a corrugated or notched side, k, to afford positive connection ofthe two bya clamp-bolt, Z, and thumb-nut m, when bolted together toprevent shifting upon each other. The bar I) is slotted along most ofits the bolt Z to shift along it, to

lengthen or shorten the hanger by slackening the two parts a and b, as

the nut and shifting required. The hoop h is connected by an ex- Thebars a b. are to be cast open-work or ornamental, as may be desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I Patent, is

1. In a pipe-holder, the combination, with the adjustable hanger,composed of the serrated or toothed bars adjustably connected together,of the adjustable or expansible collar, connected to a right-angledextension of one of the bars of the hanger by a clamp-bolt,substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of the elastic pad or washer f with the head 0,attaching-screw d, extensible bars a b, bracket g, and the expansiblehoop h, substantially as described.

3. The combination of the extensible hoop h, clamp-bolt and nut i j, andthe extensible bars a b, head a, and attaching-screw d, substantially asdescribed. I

4. An adjustable holder for stove-pipes, constructed substantially asdescribed, and consisting of a hanger composed of two adjustable parts,and a hoop adj ustably connected to one of the hangers.
